    This is challenging. They sound really good, but I got them because of their ability to connect to multiple devices. First issue was they have problems with windows 10. So I had to jump through hoops to get them to work. I have been using them at work for about a week now. To be honest I plan on returning them. After a few hours of wearing them my ears are very sore. Their features are very cool for the noise cancelation. The way you can have the sound stop when you talk. Really cool while wearing them in an office setting....unless you have a cold or cough. Yeah they shut down for 10 secs with every cough. My main reason for returning them is I don't feel they are worth the $300.00 I spent on them.
